Better be parked on some months-dry GA red clay to use it with that tiny
bottom foot! :-)

Ken,
Are you sure the jack isn't pictured upside down?

Rob,
Before I installed the drop leg jacks on our GMC I tried a set of BAL 24002D scissor jacks. They were rated at 7500 lbs. They would not lift the GMC off the ground and started to buckle. The last letter was a D and not the B like the ones you are looking at. I don't know what the difference would be. It seems these jacks are used more for leveling then lifting. I wanted to be able to lift the the wheels off the ground and the drop leg jacks will do this.

I believe they are supposed to be ATTACHED in an INVERTED
orientation to the BOTTOM of a trailer/coach frame!!!

These things are VERY flimsy/wobbly when more than 1/2 way
extended! I have them on my travel trailer and carry four
18" hardwood 6x6 blocks to minimize their extension.

Jim,

Somebody noted that they had a scissor jack that worked well but couldn't
find it or something so I figger'd I'd send this in.

Glad you posted your experience, I'd hate to see someone buy it and find it
was a piece of $%#&!

Thanks,
